Goodwood, which stages its first meeting since a shocking 50-man brawl at the course's seasonal opener this month, will be hoping headlines are made on the track, although Classic clues will be lacking in Thursday's feature.

None of the six runners is in next week's Investec Oaks, with Epsom entry Mrs Sippy declared a non-runner on Wednesday evening.

Snow Fairy went on to land the Oaks after striking on the Sussex Downs in 2010, but nothing of her calibre has emerged since.

She is trained by Archie Watson, who said: "She's a very nice filly and has a good level of experience. The pace of the race just didn't work out in France last time and I think the step up in trip will help. I'm very happy with her at home."
